Please accept my humble obeisance’s. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to you Guru Dev.
On this very auspicious day of your Vyasa Pooja, I offer my prayers to the Lord to bestow you with good health and joy. You continue to serve as an inspiration to many. They say that, “the life of a person is measured not with the years, but with the footprints that he leaves in other peoples lives, thoughts and hearts.” Your such an individual.
I am reminded of the past times of Vasu Deva Datta – who was suffering Leprosy - when the worms fell down from his wound he put them back into his body so that they may continue to feed of him – we are left with evident wonder and great admiration of his deeds. You are an estimable Vaishnava and your life itself is an exemplary of it. You are Pathitha pavan. You have taken ones Karmas and have granted them initiation – I am one amongst many to have been thus bestowed.
I humbly accept that I am not as pure a devotee but would wish nothing more than to please you Guru Dev by assisting and supporting you to the best of my ability in spreading Lord Caitanya’s mission – maintaining the upkeep of the temple, preaching activities like Damodar month house prayer, fundraising, by providing fallen souls an opportunity, to listen to Srimat Bagavatam katha at ISKCON Scarborough in monthly basis. Therefore my prayer is to become a worthy instrument for spreading the mercy of Krsna Consciousness onto others.
You are our father, mother, and our only key to our goal in going back to Godhead.
